EXPERIENCER-based data may give us an idea of how humans are treated, what are they told, what the various entities may be like, what do they want and what do they share. This data should be crucial for making exopolitical evaluations and decisions. According to this data, it seems that most consciously-remembered interactions with non-human intelligent beings associated with the UFO phenomenon are benign and constructive. Only a few would be “negative” or deleterious. If there is a greater percentage of negatively-oriented entities (as some “insiders” or “whistleblowers” have shared in recent years), then for some reasons they might not able to interact with Earth humans as much.

The Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters (FREE) has been conducting an anonymousSURVEY directed to experiencers that claim to consciously recollect contact experiences with non-human intelligent beings in connection to UFO sightings. The larger scale of the survey provides a better database than what has been previously know. It can provide more meaningful statistics to try to understand what the contact experience is about under multiple aspects. Is it benign? Is it transformative? Is it something about which we need to be wary about?

Considering the possibility that most respondents are describing real experiences and that they are not mentally ill, deceiving or imagining things, this becomes necessary EXOPOLITICAL data that should be carefully considered. Considering the fact that answering the survey involves a serious effort and that it is anonymous, and the fact that most experiences seem to have had positive life-enhancing effects, it is unlikely to think that the usual suspects of lying and mental illness are the cause of these reports.

Therefore, this data should be carefully considered along with more specific information according to “need to know” given to credible whistleblowers.

The data is useful exopolitically in that it also supplements and complements what is being gathered and assessed through leaked as well as formally declassified UFO-related documents, complex narrations by current and past well-known contactees, abductee research, insiders, whistleblowers and informants that are or were associated with secret Government research, historical books, unique archaeological findings and other plausible sources such as mediumnistic, telepathic, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, hypnotic regressions, shamanic encounters and channeling. It also complements serious, objective ufology demonstrating the existence of unknown “anomalous” aerial objects performing “impossible” maneuvers, some of which may well be both technologically advanced and otherworldly.

F-R.E.E’s survey adds to the dawning realization that something unique with both physical and psychical characteristics is really going on. It seems to tell us about the nature and purpose of a variety of technologically advanced, non-human intelligent beings, normally operating in a semi-covert manner, capable of manipulating space-time, contacting specific individuals for various precise purposes; beings apparently possessing “multi-dimensional” technological and consciousness-related capabilities that usually seem “paranormal” to us. Moreover, several – somehow related – “contact modalities” seem to be in operation here.

The survey’s data originates from a wide variety of individuals that have not colluded to present a unified case. They don’t know each other, and most would have no reasonable need to portray tall stories while anonymously filling out a long-winded survey. However, in spite of the variety, patterns emerge and these patterns can contribute to a general assessment based on multiple sources.

The survey’s data presents a more balanced view regarding what seem to be positive and negative types of encounters and some of it contradicts the frequent negative emphasis found in some books and in the internet. Other parts of the data coincide with possible findings by various other researchers.

As of March, 2017, 3200 persons reporting their contact experiences sent their responses in English. Other surveys are being conducted in other languages. If we are talking about genuine contact experiencers with non-human intelligent beings, the data can serve exopoliticians define a preliminary strategy on how to relate with a variety of more technologically advanced beings that may be interacting with thousands – if not millions – of individuals – worldwide.

The Co-Chairs of this research study are Dr. Jon Klimo, a retired Professor of Psychology and one of the world’s leading academics on the “Paranormal” and Dr. Bob Davis, a retired Professor of Neuroscience at the State University of New York. Researchers members of the FREE Board of Directors and advisory board also collaborated. The dedicated role of Mr. Reinerio Hernandez in formulating questions, coordinating the overall effort and informing about the survey was invaluable.

The following is a preliminary summary report as of December 1, 2016.

METHODOLOGY:

The anonymous survey was publicized in Facebook pages pertaining to UFOs, the paranormal, Out of Body Experiences, Near Death Experiences and related topics. It was also publicized in radio interviews and UFO and experiencer conferences. Individuals responding the survey were able to use their computers and the internet. Our research study involves two comprehensive quantitative surveys, Phase 1 and Phase 2, totaling more than 600 questions and 2 qualitative research instruments, Phase 3 and 4. Phase 3 is a qualitative instrument involving written responses to 70 open-ended questions. Phase 3 is meant for major experiencers with multiple contact events. Phase 4 requires a great amount of time, effort, and sufficient funds and – if it becomes feasible – may be conducted as a multi-day formal structured interview that will be audio recorded and transcribed. We expect to interview 200 of the major experiencers from the more than 3,000 that have participated. All 4 phases will be completely anonymous and based solely on conscious explicit memories and not lucid dreams or hypnotic regressions.

LANGUAGES:

Our surveys are being administered in these languages: English, Spanish, German, French, and very soon Slovak, Farsi and Mandarin.

OUTREACH:

The FREE Board engaged in extensive publicity for our surveys. We gave over 100 interviews in the major radio stations focused on science issues, Ufology, the Paranormal, and other related topics. We made weekly postings in over 500 Facebook sites in the following areas: MUFON sites, numerous Ufology and Paranormal sites, New Age, Energy Healing, CE-5, Consciousness Studies, Near Death Experiences, Out of Body Experiences, and many others. We also sent out monthly mailings to over 2,500 individuals and organizations involved in the fields of Ufology and the Paranormal.

RESPONSES:

As of December 1, 2016, FREE has received the following responses to its English language surveys– Phase 1: 2,900; Phase 2: 1,700; Phase 3: 1,070. For the Spanish surveys, we have received 650 responses for Phase 1 and over 200 responses for Phase 2. Our German Survey was recently launched and we have received over 220 responses. We are currently translating our survey to other languages including French and Mandarin. We have also received responses from over 105 countries.

OVERVIEW OF INITIAL DATA FINDINGS:

Many of our summary data responses totally contradict what is being circulated in the field of Ufology. Many of the summary data are rarely or never openly discussed in the field of Ufology. What we found is that the vast majority of individuals that have had UFO related “Contact” with NHIBs view their experiences as “Positive” and they are having a multitude of paranormal experiences. These many diverse paranormal contact experiences provide support towards the hypothesis that we live in a multi-dimensional reality which suggests that humans are both physical and spiritual beings and that the NHIBs that are interacting with us might indeed be consciously-capable multi-dimensional beings interacting with us on multiple levels of reality– a hypothesis that many of our FREE Ph.D. physicists and scientists call “The Quantum Hologram Theory of Consciousness”.

The following is not an “analysis” but just a summary of the “raw data” from Phase 1 and 2 of our English language surveys as of December 1, 2016. This same exact data can be found, via PDF charts, in the Research Menu of our FREE Website, under the menu “Experiencer Researcher”,

After a clear UFO sighting with multiple witnesses within 300 feet in the Peruvian coastal town of "Chilca" in 1975, I participated with the Mission Rahma contact group and befriended several contactees from this and other contact efforts. I also researched many aspects of the UFO phenomenon for several decades and feel inclined to contribute in the confluence of philosophical and scientific perspectives.
